by Hi,
I installed Redhat 4.0 and and few packages from Readhat 4.1. The first
time, there was no problem. After restarting the computer and loggin on
as a regular user, I found the following problems with the shell:
If I start a csh or tcsh session, I get an error message such as:
tcsh: Permission denied
tcsh: Trying to start from /home/<username>
In the mean while the above error message string also gets appended to my
PATH variable, and wreaks havoc with my .cshrc and .login while. If I
reset the PATH and MANPATH variables (by saying setenv PATH; setenv
MANPATH) and then manually source the .cshrc and .login scripts, then
everything is fine. But the same problem occurs each time I start a new
shell.
With the bash shell, I see the following problems. The computer fails to
execute the .profile script even though I start a login shell. If I try
to say something like . .profile, it complans:
/bin/.: Permission denied.
Could someone tell me what's going on, and how I can fix it. Looks like
the tcsh problem is related to file permissions, but I don't know which
file. I do have read and execute permission to /bin/tcsh, and other
relevant files and directories I can think of. I greatly appreciate your
help in solving this problem.
